National Public Radio is ending the 21-year-old
Talk of the Nation and encouraging stations to replace it with an expanded version of the
afternoon newscast
Here & Now.

Produced by WBUR at Boston University,
Here & Now began in 1997.

The two-hour version of the program will start on July 1, after
Talk of the Nation — which is broadcast in two segments from 2 to 4 p.m. — bows out.
Here & Now will be produced from noon to 2 p.m. and updated as needed until 4 p.m. for
stations that carry it later in the afternoon.

WOSU (89.7 FM), which airs
Talk of the Nation at 2 p.m. weekdays, has yet to determine programming for the time slot,
a representative said.
